[Intro]
Ground zero
Ash on my tongue
Air tastes
Like the end has begun
[Verse 1]
Sirens in my veins
My hands shake gasoline
Footprints in the cinders
Mark the ghost of who I’ve been
You said “run”
But my boots sink in the heat
Every shadow looks like you
Every heartbeat skips a beat
[Chorus]
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
I stand
While the fire climbs my feet
If this is the end
Then watch what I unleash
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
[Verse 2]
(Deep voice)
I breathe smoke
Like it’s bitter wine
Say a prayer in broken glass
To a god that looks like mine
(High voice)
You left me
In the roaring red
But I carved my own halo
From the voices in my head
[Chorus]
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
I stand
While the fire climbs my feet
If this is the end
Then watch what I unleash
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
[Bridge]
(Deep) I was born in this collapse
(High) I was forged in every crack
(Together) When the ceiling starts to fall
We rise, we rise, we rise back
(Deep) Let the ashes crown my brow
(High) Let the embers spell my name
(Together) You can drown me in this blaze
But you can’t unmake my flame (hey!)
[Chorus]
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
I stand
While the fire climbs my feet
If this is the end
Then watch what I unleash
Flame flood?
No escape, no retreat
[Outro]
Ground zero
But I still breathe
In the middle of the flame flood
There’s a part of me
That won’t leave
